They say life begins after marriage, and for me, that’s certainly true when it comes to productivity. Becoming a dad, especially a dad of three, has been a game-changer. Here’s why:
From Excuses to Solutions:
Before kids, excuses were easy. A missed deadline? “Sorry, I was swamped.” A project behind schedule? “Things came up.” But with a family depending on me, excuses don’t fly. There’s a constant need to find solutions, not dwell on problems.
The Power of a “Settling” Mindset:
This shift in mindset has been key. I’ve moved away from explaining what went wrong and towards figuring out how to fix it. This applies in all aspects of life, even property management!
A Recent Example:
Recently, I dealt with a frustrated tenant checking into a Penang condo. He was upset about missing keys and access cards. His agent was defensive, stuck in “explain” mode. Luckily, the tenant ended up talking to me.
Communication is Key:
Instead of getting sucked into the blame game, I focused on clear communication. I explained a plan to address his concerns – a quick call to the management and a simple explanation about the extra keys. It worked! The tenant understood, checked in, and the paperwork was completed.
The Fatherhood Effect:
Being a dad has pushed me to be more efficient, solution-oriented, and a better communicator. These skills not only help me manage my family but also make me a more effective property manager.
